    Wood shafts ?

    would agree since about 90% of the Searing shafts that hang from the ceiling in his shop don't make it through the entire process & get rejected at some point in the multi year process

    Best pool learning books?

    All great advice & worth spending time on, some of my favorite books especially all of the Robert Byrne's books. Over the years I have given Ray Martin's "99 Critical Shots in Pool" to numerous people, in fact, I just sent a copy to my nephew last month. It is an old book but what I like about...

    UNI-LOC joint - the real story

    well said, this DeeDee represents the worst on the forum and the main reason many have just given up and moved on. If it is mine, it is the best & if it is yours and I don't or can't have it then it is the worst. Childish

    "Gold Crown" Ball Polisher

    I have a Diamond double disk unit and I think the rotation comes from the spinning disk imparting side spin. It is not like the balls are sitting on a belt sander, the disk rotation is not "straight"

    Chattanooga TN pool halls?

    Chattanooga Billiard Club East is a fantastic pool room. The downtown location is more of a bar and not by any means is it is serious pool room. Well worth the trip to CBC East, the best room in the area. Reminds me of Zingales in Tallahassee or Gate City Billiards in Greensboro, NC

    It’s a Billiard not a Carom!!!

    Interesting perspective, I never looked at it as a comparison to "pocketless" billiards. A "Carom" used as a noun is as you described, or, as I described To "Carom" used as a verb is to strike and rebound, e.g. "he caromed the 3 ball into the side pocket off of the 1 ball." I guess they...

    Why do pros do bar box tournaments? Serious reply's only

    One answer: - I asked a prominent pro a similar question abut why they play 9 ball and 10 ball tournaments but rarely play 8 ball. His answer was enlightening "because that's what the promoters offer" basically, they play whatever they can to make a living Another answer: - I read an article...
